I have a home building project on the go. How do I know what type of lumber to use?

Our staff will answer all your specific questions and provide a free estimate, but it’s nice to have an idea of what you’re seeking ahead of time.

Hardwoods such as maple or beech are great for building furniture, while softer woods like pine or spruce might be more suited in some areas. Combine different types of wood for a custom-built masterpiece.

For outdoor jobs, you need to ensure the lumber you choose is weather-resistant. Cedar and teak are ideal choices due to their natural water resistance.

Pressure-treated wood is useful when you want a budget-friendly option that guards against insect damage and decay.

For tabletops, cupboard doors and other such items, try sheet lumber (good one side plywood is the most cost-effective). Choose sheets that have well-matched grain patterns for the ultimate aesthetic result.

Specialty woods are mostly chosen for wood art and crafting projects.

Why is paint so important to a newly built or renovated space?

Colour choice can make or break the atmosphere of a room, so repainting the walls, ceilings, decks, etc. can be one of the most dramatic ways to revamp a space.

A great exterior paint job boosts curb appeal, adding value to the home or commercial building and making the property more aesthetically pleasing.

Choose between matte, satin, eggshell, gloss and semi-gloss finishes, or peruse oil, acrylic and latex paints to decide which is tailored to the task at hand. With so much selection in terms of texture, finish, durability and colour, you can use paint to fully express your creativity and upgrade your home.
